Hello members, I am a Homoeopath in the Netherlands and am currently working on a case in which there is a very peculiar symptom of this patient: the persons repeats while I am sying something something that what I am saying. So the persons is speaking pretty much at the same time. I have checked all kinds of reps. but I am not able to find a fitting entry. Please help, as it may be of great importance in differenciating.Thanks ahead for any help.
Regards, Freek

Hi Freek,

What is the intonation behind the repetition, is simple copying or is there
an element of questioning. i.e. if the patient is seemingly repeating to
make sure they are hearing you correctlty, then perhaps they are unsure of
their own understanding, perhaps a difficulty in assimilating. The reason
why they do this would be important and then perhaps from that you could get
rubrics.

regards,
Paul

Hi Freek
Have you looked at MIND - IMITATION - mimicry?
Your patient may be doing it for pleasure as in jesting, or in a mocking
manner, or as a compulsion etc.

You could also look at Mind - mocking, Mind - aping, Mind - Reflecting

Hope this helps

Regards

Robyn

Dear Freek,
This is called echolalia. (One of the characters in a film showing here at
the moment called "Mrs. Caldicot's Cabbage War" has it.). It is not likely
that someone would have this symptom and no others that you could prescribe
on

Hi,
You may also consider the following rubric

Herscue saya as follows in his Stramonium.
"Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome may be ameliorated by the use of this
remedy. Symptoms can begin in childhood, around seven to eleven years, with
multiple tics anywhere in the body. By the time the individual enters
puberty, however, the facial tics, echolalia (involuntary repetition of
words that are heard), cursing and involuntary barking may already have
begun, as well as the tendency to hold his penis. All these symptoms will be
very similar to Hyoscyamus. Yet if violence is present along with fears,
accompanied by intense facial expressions when vocalizing, this would
indicate Stramonium."
